Job description

Are you a strategic thinker who can bridge the gap between complex technology and business outcomes?

Orange Business is rapidly expanding its Data & AI capability in Sweden. We are looking for a Data Solutions Lead to act as the vital link between business priorities, data strategy, and cutting-edge technology. In this role, you won't just advise; you will help clients build the foundations for AI, design scalable data platforms, and turn strategic ambitions into measurable business results.

This is a unique opportunity to combine senior client advisory, technical expertise, and business development within a growing international organization.

The Role: Where Business Meets Technology

As a Data Solutions Lead, you will operate at the intersection of business, IT, and leadership. You will guide clients through the entire lifecycle of data transformation-from initial needs analysis and strategic assessment to solution design and project initiation.

Part of your time is spent as a consultant on client assignments, working closely with our clients' teams as their trusted advisor. Being close to delivery keeps your advice grounded in reality and gives you first-hand insight into what our clients need next. The rest of your time goes into presales, business development and building our Data & AI offering.

Your Core Responsibilities:

• Strategic Advisory: Lead senior client engagements, advising stakeholders on data strategy, platform choices, and transformation roadmaps.


• Solution Design: Assess existing data environments to develop blueprints and target architectures that solve real-world business challenges.


• Business Development: Partner with our Business Area Manager and Business Developer to identify new opportunities, shape our Data & AI offering in Sweden, and support tender responses/bids.


• Stakeholder Facilitation: Lead workshops and decision forums with executive leadership to connect technical investments to business value.


• Seamless Transition: Ensure a smooth hand-off from the advisory phase to delivery by collaborating closely with our architects, engineers, and the European Data & AI Centre of Excellence.


• Mentorship: Share knowledge and mentor colleagues to strengthen our collective capabilities and ways of working.

Who You Are:

We are looking for a consultant-minded professional who enjoys the balance of high-level strategy and technical credibility.

Required Qualifications:

• Experience: 8+ years in data, data platforms, data strategy, or related transformation work (preferably in complex enterprise environments).


• Strategic Leadership: Proven track record of leading data initiatives from assessment through to implementation.


• Technical Credibility: A deep understanding of modern data platforms, enabling you to challenge architectural decisions and guide clients toward optimal solutions.


• Communication: Exceptional ability to facilitate workshops and communicate value to both technical teams and C-suite executives.


• Commercial Acumen: Experience in presales, solution development, or consultative business development.


• Languages: Fluency in both Swedish and English (written and spoken).


• Mobility: Willingness to travel within the Nordics and Europe as required.

Preferred Skills & Experience:

• Tech Stack: Familiarity with Microsoft Fabric, Azure, Databricks, or Snowflake.


• Data Management: Knowledge of Data Governance, MDM, Data Catalogues, or Data Quality.


• Industry Knowledge: Experience in Banking/Finance/Insurance (compliance-heavy) or Manufacturing/Industrial (OT/IT convergence).


• AI Readiness: Practical experience with AI use cases built on scalable data foundations.


• Consulting Background: Experience in management or technology consulting and handling public procurement/tenders.

Why Join Orange Business?

This is more than a traditional consulting role. You will have a direct hand in shaping our market position in Sweden while enjoying the support of a global powerhouse.

We offer:

• Influence: A key role in building our Data & AI presence in the Swedish market.


• Expertise: Direct access to our European Data & AI Centre of Excellence.


• Flexibility: Hybrid working arrangements and a modern office in Stockholm.


• Culture: A \"no-blame\" environment that encourages initiative, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
